Bafana Bafana arrived back on South African soil on Wednesday morning, with their AFCON journey ending sooner than hoped after a narrow defeat in Morocco.
The team touched down at OR Tambo International Airport following a 2-1 loss to Cameroon in the round of 16 SABC , closing the chapter on a tournament that carried both expectation and belief.
The return was subdued, marked by quiet reflection rather than celebration. While the campaign fell short of its ultimate goal, there were moments of encouragement at the airport, where players and staff were met by Minister of Sport Gayton McKenzie and a small group of supporters offering words of support.
